    Projects

    While working in many different positions, I have had the ability to work on a multitude of projects from creating campaign videos, mailers, excel trackers, and other visualizations. Look below for just a few of my projects!

    Here are a couple of videos I created. From compiling video, editing, creating script, and putting the finished project together. I also created the targeted ad group to boost the campaign videos!
    Business Hernando Project 2 Project 3 Project 4 Project 5 Project 6 Project 7 Project 8
    AWS Twitter project

    Using Twitter API and collecting twitter data, I worked with a partner to collect twitter data and AWS EMR. We searched tweets associated with the 2018 MLB World Series to see if Tweet frequency could be used to predict the winner of the 2018 World Series. We examined the data to confirm its value for analysis and then used Jupyter notebooks, Tableau, sentiment analysis, NLP techniques, and multiple other techniques/strategies to create a PowerPoint presentation and video for the class.

    Tableau Power Point

    In this project, I analyzed data and created visuals in Tableau to create a presentation to present the data.

    Excel Campaign Tracker

    As a Campaign Data Director, I was not only in charge of handeling the campaigns data systems but was also responsible for creating reports and tracking campaign staff progress. Below is an example of an Excel sheet I created that would help to track campaign progress and would be shared with candidate, consultant, and other campaign stakeholders.
